Starliner Won't Be Able To Reach Space Station
Dec 20, 2019
The Atlas V rocket from United Launch Alliance successfully launched from Space Launch Complex 41 here at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida at 6:36 a.m. EST (1136 GMT) as planned. But, as of about an hour after launch, the mission team had announced an anomaly with the uncrewed capsule's orbit.
"Starliner in stable orbit. The burn needed for a rendezvous with the ISS did not happen.

Boeing's Starliner CST-100 crew capsule launched to the International Space Station atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket on Dec. 20, 2019. -- UPDATE Off-Nominal Orbit Insertion.
IMO with Boeing's 737 Max woes, maybe Boeing should concentrate on the equipment safety and reliability they use to shuttle people around on Earth before working on passenger spacecraft projects.
